Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and expensive, with a strong cumin note that either captivates or repels. Nüwa is a high-class rose chypre from Roja that sparks intense debate over its merits, especially concerning its price tag and distinct 'old version' spiciness.
If you're a Roja super-fan with deep pockets, this limited-edition release is a must-have. It’s a beautifully blended, modern chypre that takes the best bits of Roja's back catalogue and refines them. Expect serious luxury - no ordinary daily driver.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and sillage, combined with its sophisticated and luxurious profile, make it highly suitable for dates and formal events.
